The Artist Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[Am]The artist's palette falls[F]
The paint is spilled [Dm]with [Em]blood
Someone [Am]shot him [F]down
Left him [Dm]without [Em]a soul
[Am]His body's laid

[Verse 2]
to [F]rest
And un[Dm]derground he'll [Em]stay
With hopes [Am]to resurr[F]ect
And live [Dm]again [Em]another [Am]day
[G]Now

[Verse 3]
[Am]they[G] dec[Am]ide [G]who[F][Bbm]
[Am]lives an d[G] dies,[Am] now[G][Am][F]
His [Am]peers won't come [F]around
They're too [Dm]disgraced to [Em]face
[Am]Another soldier [F]down
His [Dm]life's work

[Verse 4]
a [Em]waste
And now [Am]these walls are [F]bare
No one [Dm]pretends to [Em]care
A dis[Am]tant [F]memory
[Dm]His másterpiece inn disr[Em]epair
[Am]

[Verse 5]
[G]Now[Am] they[G][Am][G][F]
[Bbm]decide [Am]who lives a[G]nd d[Am]ies
[G]Now[Am] they[F] will hold[Bbm] you back[Am]
[F]They will [Am]hold [C]you [Am]back
[F]They will [C]hold you

[Verse 6]
[Am]We stand tall and illuminate
We fight through and pre[F]vail[C]
[Am]We don't stop where
you'd be giving up
We won't [F]ever [Bbm]fail[Am]
A [C]martyr

[Verse 7]
[Am]takes [F]his hand
To make him [Dm]live again
[Em]With savage slei[Am]ght of hand[F]
He'll force his [Dm]legs to stand
[Em]A sick and

[Verse 8]
[Am]gutless [F]joke
A seren[Dm]ading [Em]hoax
Inter[Am]rupted peace
[F]A waste of tim[Dm]e
A [Em]pathetic excuse for [Am]hope

[Verse 9]
The sleepless [Am]nights have
no [G]compassion
And the dreams that come
aren't [F]true
A charade of lies [Am]unconscious
With so much left to be proved

[Verse 10]
But [Am]the sun will rise and [G]fall again
And the nights will start to [F]shorten
The memories will fade
[Am]into darkness
You can't let it go
[Am][F]

[Verse 11]
Bur your world is turned upside [Em]down
It's a panic you can't re[D]lease
[Dm]Once you have it, you just can't
[C]Ever ign[Am]ore it[F]

[Verse 12]
That's when you [F]realize your be[Em]st
Days are [Am]behind [E]you
[Em]And all [D]you ever[Dm] live for is regret[C]
You can't take it [Am]away
[Am](you)
You can't [Am]take it away (you)
[Am]
